We request your co-operation where such changes are made. No complaints or grievances in this regard would be entertained either during the tour or after the tour has concluded. Photos of meals / hotel rooms / transportation / sightseeing / properties published in the brochure are only for reference and may differ from the actual meal served / sights etc. Distance, Exchange Rate, Visa regulations and temperatures mentioned in the brochure are approximate or may vary.

Traditionally, each airline allows their customers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a pocket book, backpack or laptop bag. The dimensions of which should not exceed 115 linear cms and weight should not exceed 7 kgs.

Currently, the airline restriction is 20 kgs for economy class on flights to all destinations except U.S. and Canada where a person may carry 2 pieces of checked in baggage and one hand bag. Furthermore, baggage is not included for internal flights in USA. One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from US $ 25 to US $ 35 per bag.

As porterage is not included in the tour price and due to limited space for luggage in the coach, we recommend that you carry one single suitcase per person of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height) preferably with wheels for sake of convenience. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances the responsibility of the Client. Please be careful to ensure that cameras, binoculars, musical instruments, mobile phones, credit cards, ornaments, traveler's cheques, currency notes, travel documents should never be left unattended in the hotel, restaurant, aircraft, coach or any other mode of transportation, at the place of amusement / sightseeing and / or at the railway station. Similarly the aforesaid items should not be kept in the checked-in baggage. If you misplace or lose any moveable property we will not be in any way responsible and / or liable. We may not be in a position to assist and / or lodge a complaint with the authorities.

SAFE DEPOSIT LOCKERS:

It is advisable that the tour participants carry their valuables on their person at all times. If Safe Deposit Lockers are available, the tour participants should avail the facility at their own risks and liability. This facility may be additionally charged by the hotel, which will have to be directly paid by the client to the hotel. If the Safe Deposit facility is not available, the tour participants must take all necessary precautions in protecting their valuables as the Company / service providers /company's representatives shall not be liable for any loss of valuables or for making good such loss.

TIPPING:

Tipping is customary (unless otherwise stated in the brochure) in all parts of the world for services rendered (e.g. porters, coach drivers, guides etc). Your Sales advisor will guide you in this regard.

PUNCTUALITY:

This is a measure to ensure your safety and time discipline. Clients will have to strictly adhere to the prescribed timetable for the day. Please adhere to time discipline so that scheduled sightseeing is not missed due to your actions. In case any sightseeing or services are missed due to your default the same will be non-refundable. Tour Participants are requested to strictly follow the time schedule given at all times including the departure time from the hotel, sightseeing places, etc.

MEALS:

If availed of meal option on a Flexihol holiday, there are pre-set menus provided by the restaurant. We, however, reserve the right to change the meal arrangement, where circumstances compel us to do so. Unlike an airline, we cannot process for a special meal, diet meal etc. nor can we guarantee a special diet for customers if applicable. In the event that the Client wakes up late and misses breakfast and in the event that the Client is out on his own and reaches late and misses meals, then no claim can be made by him for the meal which he has missed and not utilized.

CURRENCY AND TRAVELLERS CHEQUES:

We suggest you take your holiday spending money partly in currency, partly in travelers cheques or Travel Currency Card. Travellers cheques are a safe way to carry money as they are easily encashed for a small service fee and can be replaced if they are stolen or lost, provided you have the lost travellers cheque numbers and the counterfoil subject to American Express being satisfied with the genuineness of the claim. Alternatively, you can take a Travel Currency Card, which is by far the safest way to carry money and make payments.

HOTELS:

Keeping in mind the itinerary, we take great care to select the locations of hotels, which are chosen both for their comfort and value for money. Due to conventions and trade fairs, Olympics etc in the cities the hotels may be blocked out more than 2 years in advance. In view of this, you may have to stay in hotels further away from the cities and itineraries may have to be amended / altered. All hotels are twin bedded (in Europe) and in keeping with European standards are comparatively small. Single rooms are much smaller than twin-bedded rooms. A double room has a queen-size bed and a twin room has two separate beds. Requests for double rooms will be subject to availability and in cases when a double is not available, we will provide you with a twin room.

We recommend a maximum of only three persons in one room. Triple rooms are usually no larger then twin rooms and the third bed is often a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. Modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers / bathtubs are provided. General check in time is usually 2 p.m. and check out time is usually 11 a.m., early check-in and late check-out is subject to availability unless pre-paid and booked in advance.

In case of a passenger booking on a single basis, will have to pay single room supplement.

Any damage caused to the hotel property by you will have be paid by you directly to the hotel and we would not be responsible and / or liable for the same.

ACCOMMODATION FOR CHILD BELOW 12 YEARS OF AGE:

It is expressed and given to understand that a child below 12 years of age who is booked on the tour paying the special rate without a bed will not be provided with a bed in the hotel while on the tour under any circumstances unless a supplement is paid. In case the Client decides to make any change in the rooming while on the tour then they shall be bound to pay additional amount charged to them by the concerned Hotel directly to the Hotel.

CONDITIONS OF PASSAGE:

These conditions are applicable to every Client of the Company, who books a Brochure Tour or any Special Tour or travel arrangement. In the event of a Client booking through us a Tour or Tour Arrangement of any other Tour Operators like Carnival Cruises, Cosmos, Globus tours, Star Cruise etc., the 'Terms and Conditions' specified by such Tour Operator, including their payment schedule, cancellation, refund, rules and regulations etc. shall be applicable, in addition to our 'Terms and Conditions' while determining the contractual relation between the Client, the Tour Operator and us.

SCOPE OF ACTIVITY:

We do not control or operate any airline, neither do we own or control any shipping company, coach or coach company, hotel, transport, restaurant, railways, cruise or any other facility or service mentioned in this Brochure. Though we take care in selecting all the ingredients in your holiday, we can only select and inspect them. As we have no control in running them, we cannot be responsible for any deficiency in service, delays, improper services provided by any agency, airline, transport, hotel, cruise or any provider of services, for any injury, death, loss or damage which is caused by the act or default of the management or employees of any hotel, airlines, shipping companies, cruise, coach owners / coach operators / tour operators who are the Company's independent contractors.

We are also not responsible for the delay or deficiency in services provided by agency, airline, transport, hotel, cruise or any provider of services, and / or any act or actions of co-travellers, co-passengers which may result in injury, damage to the life / limb or property of the Client or interfere with enjoying or availing the following and / or the other services to be provided on the tour.

REGISTRATION:

The Client has been supplied with details for the Tour Arrangements and the Tour Brochure / Itinerary for the relevant year and season. The Client shall read the same as well as the 'Terms and Conditions' and the 'Booking Conditions' carefully before filling and signing the Booking Form. The Terms & Conditions, Booking Form, Payment Receipt shall be binding on the parties and shall constitute a contract between the parties, on the Client signing the Booking Forms and making payment towards the prescribed non-refundable interest free deposit amount. In case of one or more but not all Clients sign the 'Booking Form', it shall be deemed that the others have duly authorised the concerned signing Client/s. In cases where the travel agent through whom the clients have booked the tour signs the Booking Form for and on behalf of the persons named in the Booking Form, it shall be deemed and construed that the clients have duly authorized the said travel agent to sign on their behalf. The signing of the Booking Form by the Client or by their travel agent shall mean acceptance in totality of the Terms and Conditions contained herein by the Client/s.

No person including the Employee/s and the Agent/s of the Company other than the Company, in writing, has the authority to vary, add, amplify or waive any stipulation, representation, term or condition set forth in this Brochure. Any assurance given by any person shall have no consequence.

The Company reserves the right to decline to register any person/s as Client/s for any Tour or to cancel their registration without assigning any reason.

DEFINITION:

You / Client/s means the person/s in whose name and / or whose behalf the Booking is made and / or whose name is on the Booking Form, Invoices and Service Voucher(s).

We / Us / Company means Cox & Kings Limited.

Child / Infant: An 'Infant' means a person below the age of two years, and a 'Child' means a person above the age of two and below the age of twelve years.

Independent contractors means 'any hotelier / hotel owner, owner of any airlines or shipping company or railway, ferry boat owner / operator, cruise, coach owner / operator, owner / operator of any other Person or Organisation etc. who have been selected by the Company to render services to the Client'.

Holiday Price means the tour cost mentioned in the Price Grid and other payments such as taxes, surcharges etc payable by the client to the Company.

"Cancellation Policy" means and includes all the cancellation charges levied by the company from time to time, third party cancellation charges etc. as more particularly described hereinbelow or any other documents.

There is no contract between the Company and the Client until the Company has received the appropriate non-refundable deposit. The full payment must be received in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Brochure under the heading "HOW TO BOOK". If not paid in that time, the Company reserves the right to cancel the booking with the consequent loss of deposit and apply the scale of cancellation charges as mentioned in the "HOW TO BOOK" section.

The Company has the right at any time and for any reason

To terminate the Contract after acceptance of deposit but prior to the commencement of the Holiday without assigning any reason whatsoever. In the event, the Company terminates the Contract, the Company may refund the amount of deposit to the client without payment of any interest after deducting actual expenses incurred on the booking like visa charges, travel insurance, retention charges of overseas suppliers, ticket voiding charge etc.

To amend, alter, vary or withdraw any tour, holiday excursion or facility it has advertised or published or to substitute an independent Contractor of similar class, if it is deemed advisable or necessary. In either case, the Company shall not be liable for any demand, additional expense or consequential loss suffered by the clients or for any compensation claim.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND CLEARANCES:

It shall be solely the Clients' responsibility to hold valid and genuine travel documents and statutory clearances, to be able to travel on the Holiday, such as passports, visas, confirmed air-tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other statutory certificates including immigration clearance etc. In any case, your Passport must be valid for at least six months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the Holiday. Please note that guest travelling to Malaysia should have a valid passport for at least nine months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the holiday.

It is the responsibility of the Clients to furnish all documents required by the Company for application of visa etc. We are mere facilitators for providing visa guidance services. In the event the application for the visa made by any Client or the Company on behalf of the Client is rejected by the concerned Embassy or Authorities due to inadequate documents furnished by the applicant or due to any other reason whatsoever, the Company shall not be liable or responsible for the same. The visa fee includes the actual visa charge, cost of processing fees, professional charges, and overheads. All cost, charges in respect of the said application for the visa shall be borne by the Client and the non-refundable deposit paid by the client shall be forfeited and no claim whatsoever shall be made for the same. UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by the Client directly, however the Company can only assist in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by clients. Certain consulates / embassies may call the clients for personal interviews and / or biometrics,

As granting or rejecting visas and immigration clearance is the sole prerogative of the concerned sovereign governments and the Company is only a facilitator, the Operator shall neither be responsible in case of non-granting of such documents nor liable for any delay, denial or other related act / omission or for any loss, expense, damage or cost resulting there from. The position in respect of cancellation of the tour by the Client due to non-availability of travel documents would not change only by virtue of the Client having applied for such documents through the Operator. Even if the visas are rejected, the stipulated fees of the Operator shall be payable by the Client. There will be no refund, if the Client, or any member of his party, is unable to travel due to the said reasons. In fact, many a time, due to such cancellations, the company suffers losses because, sometimes, the cancellation is done at a time of holiday rush like Olympics etc. and the third party suppliers such as hotels, airlines and cruises levy 100% cancellation charges. In such cases, cancellation charges as applicable by the company will apply and the decision of the company will be final and binding upon you. Under the circumstances, you agree not to proceed legally against us unless there is a manifest error from our end.

The Company would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned Embassy / Consulate regarding name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport number. We always use services of reputed courier companies for the purpose of transmission of passports to the Embassies / Consulates and to our clients in various cities. We would not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport. The documents forwarded by you for visa purpose are sent by us to the concerned Embassy / Consulate by third parties and hence we would not be liable for loss of your documents. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents.

In the event that a client is unable to travel on the Holiday date originally booked by him / her, due to rejection of visas by the concerned Embassy, the said client shall have the option to postpone his / her holiday to any other future date or choose any other holiday destination subject to cancellation charges of the previous holiday. However, if the client books and pays within the cancellation period and is unable to travel due to any reason whatsoever including non-availability of visas or any travel documents, the cancellation policy will apply.
